Annual Report 2020

1. Program and Objectives

A) Vision

We aim to be a focal point for the integrative study of physical and human systems at Texas A&M University. We aspire to sustain the human environment through research, teaching, and service activities that promote discovery, interpretation and application of knowledge about biophysical, spatial and human processes that pattern the earth’s surface.

B) Mission

To develop and sustain research and academic programs through which our undergraduate and graduate students are stewards and proponents of the discipline based on a command of geographic knowledge, applications of geospatial technologies and theories, and professional skills in research, teaching and to apply and disseminate the knowledge we develop for the benefit of society.
